It still displays username unless you specifically tell it not to via GPO or local machine policy.  Interactive Logon: 
"Do not display last user name" Enable or Disable.

Does RDP on Windows 7 still give the logged in username?  Working with W7 I haven't seen it anymore but it may be that 
it's been disabled in my environment and I didn't realize it.

Nessus will now grab VNC and RDP Screenshots 
Looks pretty cool. Any chance of building in character recognition in to read the active user?

You can do more than that. Can't say much more but RDP has some useful "features" that can be leveraged to gain 
a higher level of access if you know your way round windows api.


Pointers to any info? I don't know much about the windows API but might be worth looking at.

I've just noticed a nice little trick for user enumeration. The client I'm testing has RDP on almost every 
windows machine and when you connect to them, if there is a user already connected they tell you who it is. 
Luckily here most of them do have someone logged in. It is a manual job but has got me a nice little stash of 
usernames which is good as all my usual techniques failed. Of extra lucky, by naming and subnets I know which 
the servers are so I'm assuming users connected to them are either admins or at least have more privileges 
than a normal user.

Thought others might find it useful.
